Fed Ex Ground Shipping Woes
Jonnyblaze, you are the shipper. I had a similar experience with an amp. In my case it was dropped upside down with all transformers sheared off their mounts. It was one of two monoblocks. UPS ultimately bought both and took possession. I also had... 
Isolation suggestions for amplifer
Nissancrazy, all we are saying is that you are on your own. Nobody here can tell you what is best as there is no consensus.

Does it matter? Sonic performance is what he is after. 
Speaker Technology over the last 10 years
I think that some designers have maximized typically thirty to fifty year old driver designs, such as the Sander Sound electrostats, but really we have only slightly better speakers now than we have had no improvements. There is one exception. I h... 
Isolation suggestions for amplifer
If you want air circulation, use three tall points. I have watched so many similar threads and think you will get no consensus. You are really on your own. From my personal experience, i have concluded that soft materials are not what you want. Th... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Yes, it is like falling off the wagon. AA stands for Analogs Anonymous. 
LP eccentricity, spindle hole center,The fix??????
Has2be, years ago (over 30), I bought a system, which included a rasp for making the spindle hole larger and adhesive rings much like those for sheets in a loose ring notebook. There was also a wooden base with a pointer. You used it to center the... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Jmcgrogan2, I suspect few are so threatened. I do think, however, that when your children are young you have to hold back, if for no other reason than they may get into your system or cost a lot of money.I think "getting off the merrygoround" is d... 
Acoustic Revive RR-77 Ultra low pulse generator
Chadeffect, I have not felt the butterflies, but I do agree about the effect. At Ozzy's suggestion I tried Vibapods under the unit with a hard to describe effect which, I think, is positive. I also tried the Acoustic Revive QR-8 quartz disc on the... 
Acoustic Revive RR-77 Ultra low pulse generator
Moonguy, I leave mine on except when I am out of town, but I cannot conceive of why you could not turn it off when not listening. It has a on/off switch. The wallwart has about a five foot wire to the unit. You could put the wallwart into an exten... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Bacardi, I have learned that all Synergistic Research ics are the same except at the terminations. I doubt if there would be any difference between single ended and balanced. 
Acoustic Revive RR-77 Ultra low pulse generator
I had pretty much settled in to needing two RR-77s, until several days ago when Andy Quint asked about pictures with a AR QR-8 placed on it. I found such a picture in the 6moons' review and posted it for him. I then thought that I had not tried it... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Carey1110, on the mark.I have never understood this thread. I have not spent 40 plus years in this hobby because I wanted to get off. I have often thought that my reproduction of music could not get better only to have this crushed by something ne... 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
Twenty years ago and friend and I used Distech speaker wires in shotgun wirings to make power cords. I still have a pc with four. He went all the way to 16 and said he was still getting an improvement. I dropped out at four. Somewhere in all the c... 
Copper Sleeve over IEC
I wish they had chosen another name rather than shorting plug. People are going to put real shorting plugs into output and damaging their electronics.
